Dodge dart special edition

The 500L, let’s face it, is not exactly the prettiest model that Fiat makes. But this latest special edition is out to rectify that. Called the S-Design edition, it’s based on the Fiat 500L Cross, but upgrades its appearance in similar fashion to the previous takes on the 124 Spider, 500X, and Tipo five-door hatch. That starts with the matte bronze paintjob, contrasting with the gloss black roof and Myron accents on the molding, door handles, mirror caps, tail light bezels, skid plates, and grille. The 17-inch alloys are done up to match, the windows are tinted, and it comes with standard fog lights, black fabric interior upholstery, and a long list of optional equipment bundled as standard. Not into the brown paintjob? The young, fashion-conscious customers at which this special edition is focused can also opt for white, grey, green, black, or another shade of bronze – with or without the black roof. Buyers will also be able to choose between the 1.4-liter … [Read more...] about Fiat 500L S-Design Edition Aims To Inject Some Extra Style

We squawk all the time about certain things that we love around here and you well know that the NHRA Dodge Hemi Challenge that happens during the US Nationals is one of them. This is the greatest gathering of SS/AH (Super Stock A Hemi) cars in the world every year and they slug it out through qualifying and eliminations. There are always wheelies, great elapsed times, busted motors, broken dreams, and door handle to door handle races that keep everyone on the edge of their seats. Being able to call the action with Herb McCandless each year has been one of the highlights of my announcing career. The whole thing is freaking awesome. There were some questions regarding the return of the program for 2018 and thankfully those questions have been answered with Dodge assuming the sponsorship and the title rights to the event. This is the 50th anniversary of the release of the Hurst Hemi Darts and Barracudas so it would have been a crying shame to see the whole thing go away. It’s back, … [Read more...] about Nifty Fifty: The NHRA Dodge HEMI Challenge Is Back At Indy – $15,000 To The Baddest SS/A Hemi Machine On The Property

When this year’s NHRA U.S. Nationals plays out from August 29 through September 3 at Indianapolis Raceway Park, a lot of folks are going to be channeling one of the most famous lines in motorsports: “Hey, that thing got a Hemi?” Dodge and parent company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles on Thursday – on National Hemi Day, no less – announced that it will celebrate the Hemi’s 50th anniversary of Super Stock cars with the 18th annual Dodge Hemi Challenge during the U.S. Nationals.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – The Dodge brand has announced title sponsorship of the NHRA Dodge HEMI Challenge, returning the fan-favorite event to the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals for the 18th-consecutive year. The 2018 NHRA Dodge HEMI Challenge, set for Aug. 30-31 at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Mopar-powered 1968 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda Super Stock cars that compete head-to-head in the event. The race showcases Super Stock/A-HEMI NHRA Sportsman class competitors battling on the quarter-mile in 1968 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda machines. The legendary 1968 Mopar “package” cars — so named because they were purpose built as a distinct “package” for use solely on the drag strip — serve as precursors to the modern-day package car, the Mopar Dodge Challenger Drag Pak. “The Dodge brand is proud to serve as title sponsor of the NHRA Dodge HEMI Challenge, an event that … [Read more...] about Dodge Continues Backing NHRA HEMI Challenge
